About Rose Marie Lee

My family and I purchased the property in 1970. Because of abundance of crows in the area and the dam is visible from the property, hence the name "The Dam Crows Nest". Until 2012 there was a 60' house trailer located on the adjacent property. I was originally from Virginia Beach, but moved to Wilmington, DE for seventeen years and moved back to Virginia Beach in 2014. My grown kids and I decided to build the cabin in 2011. My oldest son did all the tile, slate and stonework in the house and my other son built the deck. My forte is decorating. I hope you will enjoy our "Little Piece of Heaven" and will come back year after year.

Rose Marie Lee purchased this cabin in 2014

Why Rose Marie Lee chose Lake Gaston

We were invited to a friend's cabin just around the corner. We fell in love with the lake. Before the weekend was over we we knew we wanted our own place. We were shown this 1-1/2 acre property and fell in love with it. The property is located on a large point on Main Lake which wraps around to a private sandy cove beach. The log cabin main floor has two bedrooms, one with a queen bed, the other has a set of bunk beds and a daybed with pop-up trundle (total 4 twins) and a futon (double bed size). Washer and drier located on main level. The master bedroom on the third level has a king bed and a low youth bed, and a sofa chair in the loft. The walk-out basement floor has a built-in granite bar, regulation pool table, televisions, sectional sofa, extra full size frig., full bath, two bedrooms, both with queens. The entire basement has slate floors. The basement level patio has a picnic table and seating. Cook out on the propane grill while enjoying the beautiful view off the large deck on the main level. Pet friendly! Sunday to Sunday In Season. 1 King, 3 Queens, 5 Twins, Futon (double) and a Youth Bed (sheet provided) & a full size inflatable mattress. Pillows and blankets provided. Storage cabinet with additional pillows and blankets. Four bedrooms have flat screen televisions. The bunkbed room has a standard television that has cable and plays VHS and DVD's. Main floor living area has a Blu-Ray Smart DVD player.

What makes this cabin unique

The boat house and pier has a view beautiful view of Main Lake and the dam and is located on deep water. The perimeter of the boat house has led rope lightening. The boat house also has one-of-a- kind special led colored lighting. There is nothing like it on the lake. A tall led light on the boat house roof lights the cove and surrounding water for evening swimming or fishing. There are also two fire pits where you can chat and roast marshmallows. There is also a regulation horseshoe pit. Rope hammock and rope chair for lounging on the bottom floor patio.

Bedrooms on main level and third floor level have hardwood floors. The bedrooms on basement level have slate floors. The loft area has a sleeper chair, but is not suitable for small children because it is very close to the railing when open.

Outstanding place at Lake Gaston!!!

Dam Crows Nest is truly an outstanding place to rent at Lake Gaston. It had everything we needed ........and more! The interior of the house is very well laid out, well furnished and well maintained. We had our three grandkids there and they invited some of their friends. While they were not alll there on the same nights, on one day there were 12 kids there ranging in age from 11 to 18. There was space for everyone with the boys taking over the bottom level and the girls using the main level. The view of the lake was "picture postcard." A short walk brought you to a sandy beach area and the boathouse and dock. The owner had kayaks and a canoe that we could use in addition to the boat and jet skis that we brought. All of this kept the kids in the water all day! Rose Marie, owner, was a joy to work with. She responded immediately when I sent in my initial rental inquiry. She then kept in touch throughout the process leading up to our rental week. And once we arrived and had questions, she was available by phone to answer our questions. She made us feel that she was really happy that we were staying in her home and she wanted to be certain that we felt at home and had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. We had a great week weather wise. We definitely plan to return next summer and we have nothing but positive things to say about our experience at Dam Crows Nest.

Great location and made for vacation

House and property were ready when we arrived. Nice kitchen with everything you need. Comfortable furniture and room to spread out. Outside deck has great views of the lake. Dock is perfect for sunbathing and swimming. Rented a boat from Stonehouse Timber Lodge and they were great to deal with (only place we found rented skis and tubes). There were six of us and we all had a great time.

Great rental for large families

Having owned a vacation home at Lake Gaston for 11 years (sold in 2015), and entertaining my large family, I knew what I was looking for when it was time to go back to the lake. We recently stayed at The Dam Crows Nest and it was a great experience. The owner, Rose Marie, was great to work with before and during our stay at her very well appointed home. We had 3 generations of family there ranging in ages of 30-80.

The three things that were very important for our group were:

1. Easy access to the dock with not too much slope (mobility issues)

2. Sandy beach area to launch water toys (sailboat, paddleboards etc)

3. A great view of the lake from the house and dock area.

This home met that criteria very well.

This home was appointed with everything a family would need for a great vacation at the lake. The décor is modern and tasteful and the kitchen is well stocked with the tools to prepare meals. Multiple seating areas both indoors and out allowed us to have some space to ourselves when we wanted to read. Especially enjoyable was the loft area outside the master bedroom that provided a great view of the lake.

Great Weekend with Friends

The house is absolutely beautiful inside and out. It is very spacious and is great for large families everyone has their own space. The view of the lake is fantastic. We will plan to return for another great time on Lake Gaston.

Amazing stay!

I can't say enough good things about our weekend stay at Rose's property. She was available through text if we needed anything. The house was beautifully kept, there was plenty of room for everyone and the kitchen was full stocked. We had the best time on the dock which was full of floats, chairs, and kayaks. Thank you for an amazing trip, we will definitely be back!!
